Aim-TTi TGR6000 Signal Generator

The Aim-TTi TGR6000 is a signal generator with a frequency range of 6GHz and a RF signal.

Cost Effective Solution

The TGR6000 is a low-cost RF signal generator with a maximum frequency of 6GHz. It is intended for CW (carrier wave) applications where modulation is not required, and avoids the costs associated with adding modulations.

Low phase noise is matched by low leakage, low residual FM and spurii. The internal timebase has a 1ppm stability, and an external frequency reference can be used for higher precision.

Flexible Sweep Modes

The TGR6000 incorporates an advanced stepped sweep system which allows both frequency and amplitude to be swept.

The sweep can be defined in terms of start and stop frequency/amplitude points with linear or logarithmic interpolation between them. The total number of points can be set from 2 to 1000 and the dwell time between points can be set from 10ms up to 10s.

Sweeps can be triggered manually, from an internal timer or from the remote interfaces. If required, each point within the sweep can be stepped via a trigger event rather than a fixed time.

In List Sweep mode, the sweep is defined by a table of up to 1000 frequency/ amplitude points which can be stepped between either by trigger events or by an individual dwell time for each point.

This system provides the flexibility to generate changes in frequency and amplitude to match virtually any required test pattern.

Lists can be generated within the instrument, or on a PC and downloaded via the interfaces. Up to 16 user lists can be stored permanently within the instrument’s memory.

User Compensation Table (Trim)

The Trim function enables the output level to be adjusted in order to calibrate an entire test set up.

The Trim function consists of a user programmable list of up to 100 amplitude adjustment /frequency pairs. When turned on, it adjusts the output level by an amount linearly interpolated between the frequencies specified in the list.

Ease of Use

The TGR6000 is both simple and intuitive to use.

Frequency and level can be entered directly from the keyboard in whichever units are preferred. Alternatively values can be changed in user defined increments using the spin wheel or up/down keys.

The four line display has soft key functionality for setting up more complex functions such as sweep lists.

Set-up and Sweep List Storage

The generator has internal storage for up to 12 complete instrument set-ups and up to 16 sweep lists.

Set-ups and sweep lists can be given user defined names if required.

Full Remote Control

The TGR6000 incorporates full remote control using USB, RS-232, GPIB and LAN (Ethernet) interfaces.
